VICTORIA, BC – Driftwood Brewery has just released Spring Rite, a new limited Belgian-style ale brewed with using local barley:
The second of our 100% local malt series. Inspired by the Abbey ales of Belgium, the base malt is an artisan barley that is grown and malted on the Saanich Peninsula (as close to the brewery as we can get). Finishing with a healthy dose of floral hops and the distinct funk of brettanomyces yeast, Spring Rite will continue to evolve with some aging.
Driftwood Spring Rite is available now in 650 ml bottles at select retail outlets in and around Victoria and Vancouver.

- Greg C. is drinking an Ikinuki Ungespundetes Kellerbier by Godspeed Brewery at Bar Hop BrewcoGood lager with strong malt base but heavy hit of hops as well. Good body, full but not heavy. A pleasure to drink.
- Greg C. is drinking an After Hours: Raspberry Sour by PEI Brewing Company (Gahan) at King & DufferinSurprised to find this treat from my home province at the LCBO. Very good raspberry sour with natural tasting tart berry flavour.
- Greg C. is drinking a Breakfast Stout by Founders Brewing Co. at King & DufferinClose to 2 years old. A bit oxidized but still everything you expect from FBS - chocolate, coffee, tasted oats & more. Always a classic.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monks' Reserve Ale by Spencer Brewery at King & DufferinDoesn’t have the depth of a Belgian Trappist, but for a New World take on a Quad, it’s very good with strong malt base & nice spice notes.
- Greg C. is drinking an Extra Brut Ipa by 3 Brasseurs | 3 Brewers at The 3 BrewersHits the target for what I expect from the style - very dry, effervescent, aromatic, refreshing & quick to drink. Well done!
